cph_citywide_data: Daily cholera data at the city-level in Copenhagen, 1853.

In matthew-phelps/CholeraDataDK: Cholera Case Data from Denmark mid-1800s

Description

A dataset of the daily cholera cases and deaths in Copenhagen in 1853. It is likely that the dataset contains data from outside the city walls at the time (i.e. Noerrebro, Vesterbro and other). It also likely includes data from hospitals, but there is a possibility that some records were doubly recorded at both the street on which the patient resides, and the hospital in which they were admitted. The author of the original report indicated that he tried to remove duplicates, but that the recording process was messy.
